Political career

He was elected to the Provincial Assembly of the Balochistan as a candidate of Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) from Constituency PB-37 (Kalat) in the 2018 Pakistani general election.[2][3]

On 27 August 2018, he was inducted into the provincial Balochistan cabinet of Chief Minister of Jam Kamal Khan.[4] On 30 August, he was appointed as Provincial Minister of Balochistan for forest and wildlife.[5]

Mir Ziaullah Langoo contested the 2024 by-election for the Balochistan Provincial Assembly from PB-36 Kalat and was initially declared the winner.[6]

Subsequently, Mir Saeed Ahmed Langau filed a petition alleging electoral irregularities. Based on this petition, the Election Tribunal suspended Ziaullah Langoo’s victory notification and ordered re-polling at seven polling stations. Later, the Election Commission of Pakistan also suspended its earlier notification declaring him as the returned candidate.[7]

He remains involved in the ongoing legal proceedings and political developments related to the constituency.
